Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your Kia Sorento with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 340045). This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut installs as a direct-fit replacement in the front right position for the 2007-2009 KIA SORENTO. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design: includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment in varied conditions.
The Excel-G is the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers, and it helps keep Electronic Safety Systems — which depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as designed — performing as intended. Sold individually; replacing struts in axle pairs is recommended for balanced handling.
